for supermoto tyres you will need different rims as the off road style ones are usually over 20 inches whereas the supermoto ones are 17 inch.

There's some stuff here on de-restrictind a dt125

https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=1129295

Allthough if you have a full license i would say you'd be better of just buying something like a dr400sm in the long run.

Fail

Get some stencils from Homebase, B&Q or HobbyCraft. Can of white spray paint, jobs a good'un.
